The black eye which prohibition has received
in various parts of the country must not be in
terpreted victory of anti-temperance senti-
ment 1t is simply declaration that the pro-
posed remedy is impracticable in the large cities.
The temperance cause has made the most solid
Roadway. Public drunkenness is severely dealt
with. Private intemperance is under general
stigma There has been marked change of
opinion and feeling in this country in regard to
drinking, and ID similar change is just beginning
to manifest itself in England. Social pressure
is more palpably felt than enactments and So
ciety is stoutly setting against excess in the
of alcoholic stimulants whilst business
refusing to employ those who drink at
all. This is the most stringent and practical
temperance reform. leading to prohibition with
out any legal enactment in that direction.
Young men are. nowaday, made to feel in every

this covering is of dirty yellowish color, which
time changes and which becomes in twenty-sev-

the egg matches, and the web assumes the ap-
